Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli was the star of the show on Sunday evening at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners battled Manchester City to a tense stalemate in the English Premier League.
The Brazilian winger tormented City’s new shot-stopper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, with dazzling footwork and blistering runs, drawing gasps from the home crowd and forcing the Italian goalkeeper into several desperate saves.
Despite Martinelli’s brilliance, neither side could find the breakthrough in what proved to be a tactical chess match between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola. Arsenal’s defensive discipline frustrated City’s attacking trio, while Donnarumma’s heroics denied the Gunners a late winner.
The draw leaves both teams locked in the title race, with fans already tipping this fixture as a preview of a season-long battle for supremacy.
